Didn't you go to Teyvat to earn money to support me?

"Why is it that I have nothing to repay you with again... so I can only say thank you?"

Ayaka Kamisato hesitated for a moment, then, seeing her mother's smiling face, gritted her teeth, strode up behind him and knelt down, trying hard to recall the massage techniques of the maids in the hot spring bathhouse, and began to massage his shoulders.

Shen Liang leaned back comfortably, only to bump his head on the small armor around Shen Li Linghua's waist, causing his head to buzz.

"Why are you still wearing armor now that you're home? Take it off!"

Ayaka Kamisato felt that something was off about what she said, but she still pulled down the ropes and took off the women's armor she had worn for the arena, so that Shen Liang's head could rest on her knees, and her breasts, which were not large but not small either, pressed against his face.

Princess Egret's lap pillow and Princess Snow Camellia's leg massage—Shen Liang squinted his eyes in pleasure as he enjoyed the services of the two silver-haired beauties.

However, Ayaka Kamisato's grip was still a bit strong. Although she was a quiet and elegant lady, she was, after all, the holder of the Eye of God and had practiced martial arts since childhood. She pressed on his shoulders until they hurt, and the back of his head was still hard.

His eyes then darted back and forth between Ayaka Kamisato and Hanayo Kamisato's soft, delicate bodies. "Please let Aunt Hanayo give me a lap pillow, and Ayaka, you can massage my legs."

"What's the difference?" Ayaka Kamisato asked, puzzled.

"The difference is huge."

Kayo Kamisato looked at her puzzled daughter and smiled mischievously.

After a moment of contemplation, she whispered to Shen Liang, "There are no matches for the Fubuki team these two days, so I'd like to have a match with you. Please."

"You want to fight me? You're not kidding?" Shen Liang's expression was strange.

“Ayaka is certainly no match for Mr. Ryoko, but…”

"No, what I mean is, are you really going to bully me?" Shen Liang feigned annoyance. "You, a God's Eye holder who has practiced swordsmanship since childhood, are going to engage in close combat with an ordinary person like me who has never even seen elemental power?"

"Isn't Mr. Ryoko capable of defeating Kujo Takayuki?" the silver-haired girl retorted.

“I was able to kill Kujo Takayuki because he was also a mortal. To be honest, I didn’t specifically target him. At the time, I was annihilating 80,000 people, and he was so scared that he didn’t run away.” Shen Liang scratched his head. “I’m not good at fighting, but I’m better at killing.”

He was telling the truth. Even if he were to use all the martial arts techniques he had mastered, his skills were still incomparable to Torachiyo's. His individual combat ability was not weak, but that was all. His true strength came from the information gap between the two worlds.

He was worried that if he were to fight Ayaka Kamisato, he would either lose or he would lose control and hurt her.

"More skilled at killing... No, Ayaka still wants to try. Mr. Ryoko, you don't need to worry about hurting me; you even have healing abilities, don't you?"

"Why do you insist on fighting me?"

“This has special significance for Ayaka,” Ayaka Kamisato said in a low voice. “And Ayaka also wants to see if you are really capable of replacing Ayaka as the ‘General’ of the Fubuki Team.”

"Then it's up to you. You decide the time, I don't care. I should be staying at the Kamisato family's place for a while." Shen Liang finally ate about half full, saving some room for the main meal later. Then he got up from the warm and soft embrace of the two princesses and carefully examined Kamisato Ayaka's attire.

After removing her armor, Ayaka Kamisato wore a blue and white haori and a dark blue pleated skirt, which were somewhat damaged from the battle in the arena. Her slender, completely naked legs were revealed from under the skirt, smooth and white, with two thin scars on her knees, but this did not detract from her elegance.

Having sustained some injuries, Shen Liang was not very satisfied.

"Stand up," Shen Liang commanded.

Ayaka Kamisato didn't understand what was going on, but she still obediently stood in front of Shen Liang.

Then he grabbed the girl's ankle. Ayaka was surprised at first, and then immediately tried to resist. But then a warm energy came from Shen Liang's right hand, which was pressed against her legs, and her body went limp involuntarily. She almost lost her balance and fell.

"W-What are you doing, Ryoko! Why are you suddenly using...using this?" Ayaka Kamisato's face flushed with embarrassment. "But thank you, Ryoko..."

Before she could finish speaking, she saw the boy in front of her frown.

"This outfit is not good-looking."

Shen Liang looked Shen Li Linghua up and down. He had to admit that the haori, the tube top, and the pleated skirt gave Shen Li Linghua a very elegant and refined look, but this did not suit Shen Liang's taste.

In feudal society, young ladies from wealthy families did wear thick and many layers of clothing. If it weren't for the fact that Ayaka's lower body was bare and relatively cool, he would have felt sorry for Ayaka wearing such clothes in the hot weather of May or June.

—Look at your mother, she only wears one kimono, she's both charming and dignified, her fashion sense is much better than yours.

"Change!" Shen Liang commanded.

"Me!" Ayaka Kamisato felt bewildered, even a little embarrassed and annoyed. "Why should I listen to Ryoko? Why should I change my clothes just because Ryoko tells me to?"

"Listen to me." Kanzai Hana said calmly, "Ayaka, Ryoko's help to the Kanzai family is already beyond our ability to repay. We need to learn to be sensible. If Ryoko doesn't like it, go and change it until he likes it."

"What, Mother, you're here too..."

Ayaka Kamisato clutched the hem of her skirt, on the verge of tears.

The person who has done him the greatest favor is you, Mother. Why are you making your daughter try to please him?

The clever Miss Linghua selectively forgot that Shen Liang had just agreed to participate in the uprising.

But she couldn't disobey her mother's orders, so Ayaka gritted her teeth in annoyance and stared at the boy with a deep expression. "Change what? What do you want to see me wear?"

She swore that if Shen Liang made her wear any shameful clothes, she would resist to the death, even if her mother stood up for him!

Even if I had thought about it... how could I allow him to act so recklessly? At least, absolutely not in the Kamisato family! What does he take Ayaka for? A call girl stripper?!

"To prepare for your future with me, we need to abandon your quiet and ladylike attire now. The Ayaka Shinri who travels the world with me must be a heroic and capable princess, not like now, wearing a ruqun (a type of traditional Chinese dress) even when fighting." Shen Liang thought for a while.

Then he pulled back the light curtain and returned to Neuschwanstein Castle. About two minutes later, he came back carrying a pile of brand-new dresses.

That was the outfit he had chosen from the Shaniat family's wardrobe.

"Try them on?" Shen Liang brought over all the clothes, from coats to underwear, and gestured towards the inner room. "Don't worry, I won't peek. You can go change first. Um... Aunt Hua Dai can try them on too; there's more than one set here."

"Oh my god, is there any left for Hua Dai?" Shen Li Hua Dai asked, stroking her face with her fan and smiling.

"What are you thinking?!" Ayaka Kamisato angrily took the dress, glared at him fiercely, and then went around the screen with Ayaka Kamisato to the inner room.

Seeing her mother's enthusiastic expression, she could only reluctantly accept it.

Shen Liang waited listlessly in the main hall. Soon, rustling sounds came from the inner room, where the lights were on. Now, Shen Liang was no longer surprised to see a girl changing clothes in the next room. He sipped the sake from the Shen family and waited lazily.

Soon, the sounds of Princess Egret and Princess Snow Camellia talking quietly could be heard from inside the room.

"What is this? It's smooth and thin, but it doesn't feel like silk. It's so strange... Is it a tabi sock?"

"Ah, does Ryoko like this outfit? Hmm, it makes Ayaka's legs look even more beautiful."

"Mother, that's clearly a dress, not a shawl!"

"Such a short skirt..."

"Where did Ryoko find these clothes? How do I button them up... Mother, help me from behind..."

"Hmm, is this the aesthetic of Ryoko's world? I've learned something~"

The changing process, filled with complaints and surprise, lasted about ten minutes. Just as Shen Liang was wondering if they didn't have instructions and didn't know how to dress, the door was finally opened.

Shen Liang turned around and his eyes lit up when he caught sight of the two girls from the Shenli family, one big and one small.

Ayaka Kamisato clutched her short skirt awkwardly, biting her lip in embarrassment. She didn't dare look at Shen Liang, and whispered in shame and indignation, "Ryoko... is it alright?"

At this moment, the young lady had completely taken off her conservative ruqun (a type of traditional Chinese dress) and changed into Shen Liang's preferred attire. Her long, silver-white hair was tied into a single ponytail with a dark blue hair tie, and her dark blue strapless vest was tied around her neck with a thin rope to form a pretty bow. Because she was wearing a strapless vest, a large area of ​​her fair back was exposed, and she was half-draped with a white women's trench coat with dark blue goose feathers.

The lower half of her body was dressed in a similarly sleek denim mini skirt, with the tabi socks replaced by white nylon stockings tied with several leather straps, making her already long and slender legs appear even more delicate and alluring, encased in high-top boots.

The silver-haired wife next to her was dressed similarly to her daughter, except that she buttoned up her trench coat to cover her and her daughter's revealing upper body, so as not to appear undignified in public.

"That's more like a modern person," Shen Liang said with genuine praise.

Then he finally managed to suppress the side effects of Kamisato's full progress.

[Current Eligibility: Sentiments and Desires - Flowers, Birds, Wind, and Moon.]

[Flowers, Birds, Wind, and Moon: Kagami Kayo's refined taste in clothing, honed over thirty years, gives her profound insights into everyone's attire. When her aesthetic sensibilities align with those of the executor, the executor's aesthetic level will significantly improve, but their tolerance for aesthetic sensibilities will also decrease dramatically.]

So when you're trying to win a prize, you might encounter something completely useless!

Chapter 232 So, it's still necessary for elders to supervise dating.

While Lady Kamisato's abilities offer virtually no help in combat, upon closer examination, the system has never explicitly stated that it's a combat system from a traditional setting. Besides, Kamisato Hanayo is a typical gentle and adorable wife from a noble family; it's hard to imagine her having any combat abilities drawn from her.

You have to restrain the urge to criticize someone's outfit if you don't like it. It's fine to act like a tyrant in God's house, but you might get beaten up on Earth.

Those rich girls wouldn't spoil him.

Ayaka Kamisato's white trench coat looked quite stylish, and Shen Liang was very satisfied. He even forced Ayaka Kamisato to wear his favorite white stockings, which were made of low-transparency nylon, giving them a sleek and sexy look with a touch of girlish aloofness.

As she gradually got used to her new clothes, Ayaka Kamisato forcibly ignored Shen Liang's admiring gaze. She was actually a little puzzled as to why Shen Liang liked this style... because although the upper body was a strapless top that revealed a rather revealing flat stomach, making her feel a little shy, the lower body, especially the thighs, was completely covered up, making it even more conservative than before.

—Speaking of which, these new tabi socks are really comfortable to wear, but even though I'm wearing them more often, why is Ryoko getting more stares than before?

"Since you might be able to participate in the competition, could you tell me about the current situation of the 'Hundred People One Army'?"

Ayaka Kamisato nodded and sat down on the tatami opposite him, just in case he asked for a lap pillow or a massage.

"In the month since you left, the preliminary rounds have been going on. Xiaogong and I are pretty good, and we've been very lucky. We haven't encountered any other strong opponents and have been advancing steadily. We've now entered the top four."

Shen Liang knew she was being modest; it was impossible to reach the top four simply through good luck. She and Xiao Gong, both holders of the Eye of God, possessed extraordinary physical abilities and had practiced martial arts since childhood. Considering all that, those stronger than them among the younger generation were indeed extremely rare.

However, since many of the people Shen Liang came into contact with were Genshin Impact users, Ayaka Kamisato and Yoomiya were not particularly noticeable to him.

"The four teams that have made it to the finals are: the number one seed, 'Northern Country Team,' a team from the Winter Country. They are very strong, and we have absolutely no confidence in them. They have a crushing attitude towards the other teams. The number two seed, 'Raven Feather Team,' is the team led by Sara. Ryoko knows Sara's individual fighting ability; she is someone who has fought her way up from the battlefield. The number three seed, 'Tamagu Team,' is the team invested in by the Hiiragi family, the Kansei Magistrate. And then the number four seed is Ayaka's 'Blizzard Team,' which currently only has two members."

"A dignified club president is only the fourth seed."

"Please stop making fun of me, Ryoko," Ayaka Kamisato complained softly. "Although I don't want to make excuses, every team consists of strong players who have been on the battlefield. Ayaka and Yoomiya... were already at a disadvantage in terms of momentum. They have already done their best to make it to the top four."

As she spoke, she unconsciously leaned forward, and Shen Liang suddenly realized that her figure was actually quite good; the tight strapless bra revealed a beautiful cleavage. Sure enough, despite being usually restrained by her breastplate, she was still a well-developed young woman.

"She's no less attractive than Ryoko's girlfriend, Kokoro-san, isn't she?" Kayo Kamisato chuckled from the side.

"Aunt Hua, your tone sounds like an older woman on a blind date, eager to sell her daughter." Shen Liang sighed helplessly. How could someone be more anxious than him?

The silver-haired woman is determined to get her daughter on his side. Is it really true that she can't repay such a great kindness, and that the only way for her daughter to repay her is to be her slave?
